Meteorologist Rexroth To Aim For September Return After Fireworks Accident

DETROIT (WWJ) — WXYZ meteorologist Dave Rexroth will now have to learn to live with a physical challenge.

The weatherman seriously injured himself in a fireworks accident at his family’s farm in Iowa over the 4th of July weekend that left him with one eye. Rexroth told Channel 7 that he is concerned about how his recovery will affect his family.

“I’m going to be, more or less, okay,” Rexroth said. “The hardest part for me to turn the corner on so far has been the guilt that I have, having put my family through what I’ve put them through so far and I know that there’s so much more of that to come in terms of what I can do and what I can’t do and how it affects them.”

Rexroth said he didn’t take the necessary precautions with a one of the fireworks he was attempting to light.
